Panasonic DV Codec allows you to play and import DV-AVI Type-2 files. You just have to integrate this codec within VirtualDub and you can watch your favorite videos.

In order to install Panasonic DV Codec to your computer, you need to uncompress the pdvcodec.zip archive first; right-click on the panadv.inf file and select Install.

Continue anyway, even if you are prompted by a message saying that the software has not passed Windows Logo testing.

Some of the most important advantages that will convince you to deploy this codec to your computer are the possibility of adding plugins and other codecs, and the fact that you can install this codec within other host applications which work with AVI streams.
